For the first time ever:

Wife: You can play as long as you're multiboxing.


Seriously, multiboxing saved my marriage. Being able to AFK any time I want (hell, I've walked away in the middle of tough fights) makes multiboxing awesome.

Back in the BC days, I had my guildmates run through to Blackheart the Inciter for the trinket about 15 times (for my tank). No trinket dropped and 2 evenings wasted. Of course, nothing they wanted dropped... and my god how boring!

Three days later my guildmates asked me to help them with a run. I agreed (they had to have a tank...) and 2 minutes later my wife walks in to say her best friend from out of town wants to go to dinner with us.

Suck.

Shortly after that I started multiboxing. As my guild fell apart I simply ignored the chaos and enjoyed the blissful silence of Guild Chat. Soon I was able to complete content alone that my guild couldn't do together. Oddly enough, I still don't have that trinket... oh well
